richmanrichard:Yeah! I remembered now. We have ogbaagu too Lol at a woman like me Kids. We grew up knowing these things naturally. And I have seen almost all of them as kids. When there is burial, ofala, Christmas, new yam festival etc. We see them. Sometimes bigger bros will carry us in his car to go and watch. Such fun and keeps the adrenaline rushing. Some masquerades can run for africa A guy may bring out 5k and tell one to pursue him. Once he catches him, the money is his Who will miss all these fun? Not me 3 Likes |

Copied from wikipedia...That Ijele originated from old Anambra State in Nigeria many centuries ago is not in doubt. According to UNESCO recent commentary on the Origin of Ijele Masquarade, It is believed that a dance group called Akunechenyi from Umuleri & Aguleri communities along the eastern tributaries of the River Niger in Anambra State gave rise to Ijele. ...Op please get your facts right... 1 Like |
